Hospital Acquired Infection Control Market

The hospital acquired infection control market is expected to witness a steady growth rate during the forecast period. The large-scale use of disinfectors and medical nonwovens in the healthcare industry, growing emphasis on infection control policies within hospital premises, rapidly growing geriatric population, and increasing number of surgeries performed across the globe are expected to propel the growth of this market. However, stringent regulatory requirements may restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent.

In this report, the global hospital acquired infection control market is segmented into infection prevention, infection testing, end user, and region. The infection prevention segment has been further segmented into sterilizers, disinfectors, endoscope reprocessors, and disinfectants. The disinfectants have been sub-segmented on the basis of type (hand disinfectants, skin disinfectants, instrument disinfectants, and surface disinfectants/ disinfectant robots) and by formulation (disinfectant wipes, disinfectant liquids, and disinfectant sprays). During the forecast period, the disinfectants accounted for the largest share of the market. This can be attributed to large scale use of a number of disinfectants across the healthcare industry.

Infection testing segment is further categorized on the basis of product, application, technology, and disease. Based on product, the infection testing market is segmented into microbial testing instruments (automated microbial identification systems, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instruments, mass spectrometers, microarrays, polystainers, flow cytometers, and others), reagents and consumables, and infection prevalence and surveillance software. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into disease testing and drug-resistance testing. On the basis of technology, the market is segmented into phenotypic methods (phage-based assays, colorimetric methods, nitrate reductase assay) and genotypic methods (DNA sequencing, solid-phase hybridization techniques, polymerase chain reaction techniques, and microarrays).  Based on disease type, the market is segmented into hospital acquired pneumonia, bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections (UTI), and others.

On the basis of end user, the market is segmented into hospitals and intensive care units (ICUs), ambulatory surgical and diagnostic centers, nursing homes and maternity centers, and others. In 2016, the hospitals and ICUs accounted for the largest share of the global hospital acquired infection control market.

North America is the largest regional segment of the global hospital acquired infection control market. However, the APAC and Latin American regions are expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, primarily due to rising incidences of HAIs, growing number of hospitals, increasing medical tourism in emerging countries such as China and India, rising aging population with the resultant increase in the number of chronic disease cases.

Some of the major players in the global hospital acquired infection control market are Becton, Dickinson and Company (U.S.), Steris Corporation (U.S.), Advanced Sterilization Products (U.S., a division of Ethicon US, LLC), Getinge Group (Sweden), Kimberly-Clark Corporation (U.S.), Cantel Medical (U.S.), BioMérieux SA (France), Belimed AG (Switzerland), 3M company (U.S.), Sterigenics International LLC. (U.S.), and Synergy Health, plc (U.K.).
